Описание: Winner, American Sociological Association Asia and Asian America Section Best Book on Asia/Transnational Asia Finalist, 2015 C. Wright Mills Award from the Society for the Study of Social Problems India is the top provider of surrogacy services in the world, with a multi-million dollar surrogacy industry that continues to grow exponentially, as increasing numbers of couples from developed nations look for wombs in which to grow their babies. Some scholars have exulted transnational surrogacy for the possibilities it opens for infertile couples, while others have offered bioethical cautionary tales, rebuked exploitative intended parents, or lamented the exploitation of surrogate mothers—but very little is known about the experience of and transaction between surrogate mothers and intended parents outside the lens of the many agencies that control surrogacy in India. Drawing from rich interviews with surrogate mothers and egg donors in Bangalore, as well as twenty straight and gay couples in the U.S. and Australia, Discounted Life focuses on the processes of social and market exchange in transnational surrogacy. Sharmila Rudrappa interrogates the creation and maintenance of reproductive labor markets, the function of agencies and surrogacy brokers, and how women become surrogate mothers. Is surrogacy solely a labor contract for which the surrogate mother receives wages, or do its meanings and import exceed the confines of the market? Rudrappa argues that this reproductive industry is organized to control and disempower women workers and yet her interviews reveal that, by and large, the surrogate mothers in Bangalore found the experience life affirming. Rudrappa explores this tension, and the lived realities of many surrogate mothers whose deepening bodily commodification is paradoxically experienced as a revitalizing life development. A detailed and moving study, Discounted Life delineates how local labor markets intertwine with global reproduction industries, how Bangalore’s surrogate mothers make sense of their participation in reproductive assembly lines, and the remarkable ways in which they negotiate positions of power for themselves in progressively untenable socio-economic conditions.

Описание:
"Taken as a trilogy, consent not to be a single being is a monumental accomplishment: a brilliant theoretical intervention that might be best described as a powerful case for blackness as a category of analysis."—Brent Hayes Edwards, author of Epistrophies: Jazz and the Literary Imagination
In The Universal Machine—the concluding volume to his landmark trilogy consent not to be a single being—Fred Moten presents a suite of three essays on Emmanuel Levinas, Hannah Arendt, and Frantz Fanon, in which he explores questions of freedom, capture, and selfhood. In trademark style, Moten considers these thinkers alongside artists and musicians such as William Kentridge and Curtis Mayfield while interrogating the relation between blackness and phenomenology. Whether using Levinas's idea of escape in unintended ways, examining Arendt's antiblackness through Mayfield's virtuosic falsetto and Anthony Braxton's musical language, or showing how Fanon's form of phenomenology enables black social life, Moten formulates blackness as a way of being in the world that evades regulation. Throughout The Universal Machine—and the trilogy as a whole—Moten's theorizations of blackness will have a lasting and profound impact.

Описание: Spare The Doctor And Save The Patient The health care industry is in deep trouble. More than 50 percent of physicians report burnout and the US health care system is topping the charts for cost while skimming the bottom for quality among developed nations. There is a desperate need for a major shift in the health care business model and an opportunity to incorporate cutting-edge artificial intelligence (A I) into today's health care services. In Punish the Machine The Promise of Artificial Intelligence in Health Care, Dr. Chettipally clearly explains the current health care problems facing the US and how AI technology can be used to decrease the burden on physicians, improve the quality for patients, and decrease the cost for payers.
Описание: This provocative, thoroughly researched book explores the covert aspects of U.S. foreign policy. Prominent political analyst Peter Dale Scott marshals compelling evidence to expose the extensive growth of sanctioned but illicit violence in politics and state affairs, especially when related to America's long-standing involvement with the global drug traffic. Beginning with Thailand in the 1950s, Americans have become inured to the CIA's alliances with drug traffickers (and their bankers) to install and sustain right-wing governments. The pattern has repeated itself in Laos, Vietnam, Italy, Mexico, Thailand, Nigeria, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Panama, Honduras, Turkey, Pakistan, and now Afghanistan--to name only those countries dealt with in this book. Scott shows that the relationship of U.S. intelligence operators and agencies to the global drug traffic, and to other international criminal networks, deserves greater attention in the debate over the U.S. presence in Afghanistan. To date, America's government and policies have done more to foster than to curtail the drug trade. The so-called war on terror, and in particular the war in Afghanistan, constitutes only the latest chapter in this disturbing story.
Описание: IntroductionMachine Learning is fun with sensors and sports. Today's data scientist is out there, on the ski slopes, or surfing the waves, and best way to apply machine learning is real life scenarios of sports. What can we do if we had the best, the ultimate model of our body and health monitoring us constantly? So, when we wanted to start a new sport, for example skiing or surfing, our personal body assistant could give us suggestions, like a personal coach. With machine learning and AI methods, imagine having a coach next to you 24/7. Part I: Sensors Chapter 1: Getting StartedWhy are sensors important for health and fitness? For coaches, athletes and health professionals, they provide and objective picture of your activity. It's often impossible to capture micro-movements and forces of a downhill racer, moving at 100 mph down a winding ski trail, but when equipped with sensors, every aspect of that movement can be captured, analyzed and studied. In this book we'll use various IoT devices that can be used for sports data collection: inertial measurement units (IMUs), attitude and heading reference systems (AHRS), inertial navigation systems (INS/GPS), pressure sensors and others.1. Types of sensors and what they measurea. IMUs, AHRSb. INS/GPSc. Pressure sensorsd. Heart ratee. Vision and camera2. Sport science and dataa. Why is data frequency so important? A typical GPS device in your mobile phone works at 1Hz, that is one reading per second. Why isn't this enough for most sports applications?b. Machine Learning really cares about data frequencies, as a rule of thumb we will use 100 Hz for most sensor data we collect3. How can Machine Learning help?a. Problems solved by machine learning for human movement, health and fitness applications4. Visualizing sports from sensor dataProject: First look at athlete movement analysis with a sample sensor data set Chapter 2: Sensor HardwareIt turns out they don't sell sensors with built in machine learning at convenience stores just yet! So, we made some. We go over some sport specific requirements for sensors, where and how sensors are placed on the body and equipment. In this chapter we will cover choices for sensor hardware, communication from sensors for data collection and data choices for IoT devices. 1) Sensor IoT devices: IMU, AHRS, INS/GPS, Pressure, Proximity2) Sensor communication3) Data choices for IoT devicesProject: Learning to work with a sample SensorKit dataset Chapter 3: Sensor SoftwareOur sensor is operating at a relatively high frequency of 100 samples per second (100 Hz). We need a special software to connect our sensor to the app. In this chapter we include a practical project on how to connect our sensor via a protocol like Bluetooth Low Energy to a mobile device and transfer data to the cloud.1) Sensor firmware2) Algorithms for sensor data processing3) Connecting with the app and the SDKProject: Writing the code to connect from sensor to the cloud Chapter 4: 3D Printing SensorsProject: 3D printing is a fantastic technology for custom applications like sports! In this chapter I included a fun project on designing the case for our sensor, using 3D design software like Fusion 360 and 3D printing our sensor.1) Designing sensor casing model for sports 2) Printing the sensor3) Every sport is different!Project: Designing a case and 3D printing our sensor Part II: Sensor DataSensors generate an enormous amount of data! In this part we learn about different types of sensor data, how to parse
